Hi, I'm Sheena! I've grown up with pets my whole life (25 years and counting) so caring for animals feels second nature to me. I currently share my home with my own dog, Derek, a friendly and sociable pup who loves making new friends. I know how much pets thrive on routine, attention, and play, and I've pet-sat for friends and family over the years across a range of breeds and personalities.

I have a flexible schedule, so your pet will never be left alone for long - typically no more than 2-3 hours at a time. I provide at least 3 walks per day, with extra trips outside as needed depending on your pet's routine. I'm based in South Melbourne with parks and green spaces nearby, perfect for outdoor time and exercise.

When introducing a new dog into my home, I always take it slow - starting with a neutral outdoor meeting with Derek first before bringing them inside. I find this helps both dogs feel comfortable and sets a positive tone from the start. I'm experienced with a range of dog personalities, from shy and anxious dogs who need extra patience and reassurance, to confident and energetic dogs who need firm, calm handling. I'm comfortable managing dogs who need a little extra guidance around other pets and always prioritise a safe, stress-free environment for everyone.

My home is pet-proofed with small items stored away and balcony access blocked. In case of any emergencies I have local vet details on hand and will always contact you immediately. I'm happy to follow specific feeding routines, medications, or care instructions and will keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you have complete peace of mind while you're away!
